ROBERTO MARTINEZ left his Swansea players in no uncertain terms what he thought of their Royals hiding, telling them their “horrible” performance was just not good enough.

Martinez could not contain his disappointment after the heaviest defeat since taking charge at the Liberty 18 months ago.

And he claimed his side were too cocky after the hype of the midweek derby win over Cardiff, blasting them for gifting Reading the game without Steve Coppell’s men having to try.

He said: “We went out there too relaxed and just hoping our football would win us the game – but we gave the game away.

“We knew what to expect coming here but we conceded a goal from a first shot on target and two more from the next three and that tells you about the concentration levels.

“Their deliveries from dead balls were Premiership standard but that’s no excuse but those levels weren’t there.

“We created our own problems and we have to know how to sense danger before you start playing your football.

“We got carried away with the hype from Tuesday and if you do that against a team just out of the Premiership then they will hurt you.”

Swansea did improve after the break, but were already three down by then and Martinez said: “We gave them the points rather than making them work for it and although we came back well after the first half when not many sides will come here get ten corners and hit the crossbar – but you can’t climb such a huge mountain.

“No teams in world football will get away with it.

“We did not do the basics – sometimes you need to put bodies on the line against a a side that plays with the intensity like Reading but we didn’t.
